Quentin Tarantino launches new talent search

Moviemaker Quentin Tarantino has launched a competition to find a budding new artist – and the prize is an audience with the Pulp Fiction director.

Tarantino is gearing up for the release of his latest film, spaghetti Western Django Unchained, later this year and he’s inviting fans to submit a poster or promo clip based on the genre.

He has teamed up with The Weinstein Co. and energy drinks giant Red Bull for the contest, which Tarantino will judge. Entrants are required to submit poster art, a short film, or a digital GIF (graphics interchange format) containing footage from the Django Unchained trailer by the end of this month.

The winner will be given the chance to meet Tarantino at the Comic-Con event in San Diego, California in July.
